Saint Emily de Vialar (Émilie de Vialar) (†1856) was a French foundress and missionary. Born to a noble family, she devoted herself from youth to the poor and sick while caring for her widowed father. In 1832, using an inheritance, she founded the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition in Gaillac, dedicated to educating girls, caring for the needy, and missionary outreach. Despite financial hardships, opposition, and personal illness, she established some 40 houses across North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. She was beatified in 1939 and canonized on 24 June 1951 by Pope Pius XII. Her feast day is 24 August (or 17 June in her congregation).
